This joint resolution proposes an amendment to Article 4, Section 5 of the New Mexico Constitution, aiming to modify the structure and limitations of the legislative sessions. The amendment stipulates that each regular session of the legislature will be limited to a maximum of forty-five days, regardless of whether it occurs in an odd or even-numbered year. Additionally, it removes the previous restrictions that only allowed certain types of bills to be considered during even-numbered years, thereby broadening the scope of legislation that can be addressed during those sessions.

Furthermore, the resolution allows for the consideration of veto overrides for bills from previous regular, special, or extraordinary sessions within the same legislative biennium. This change is intended to enhance legislative efficiency and responsiveness. The proposed amendment will be submitted to the public for approval or rejection during the next general election or any special election called for that purpose.
